1.8,frozen, and untaint

[Ara.T.Howard]

i'm getting error about calling untaint on a frozen object in 1.8 (kakiwiki).
i've removed the call to untaint and things seem to work - but would this be
the preferred method?

Well, with 1.6.8 also you can't untaint a frozen object which is tainted

preferred to do what ? If the object is tainted and frozen, ruby will give
an error if you try to untaint it.
